Rubble Master is now the majority owner of Maximus, a screen manufacturer based in Northern Ireland.

The acquisition of Maximus, founded in 2004 and employing 120 people, complements the existing range of Rubble Master products, the company says. For customers and dealers, this means a full line of crushing, recycling and screening products is now available from Rubble Master with parts and service support.

“This investment allows us to improve our product offering globally, and specifically for the U.S. and Canadian markets,” says Gerald Hanisch, president and owner of Rubble Master. “The venture is already driving new product developments and future growth.”

A result of the joint engineering and production capacities of the companies are the new RM HS3500M and RM HS5000M compact tracked scalping screens. According to Rubble Master, these allow contractors to process materials such as excavated C&D waste, asphalt slabs and millings, topsoil, mulch, gravel and more.

“This now opens up synergies in many areas,” says Günther Weissenberger, Rubble Master CFO. “We will benefit from shared suppliers and economies of scale.”
